Cheers Dean.

Nice badge Dean (and you also, JT).

Excuse my ignorance, but what period do you think this is from? I have a similar one (below), where the coronet is attached to the grenade with a wire, and the coronet has never had any other fittings, but never knew an approximate dating of it.

Cheers, Tim

Some debate about the coronet being worn with the grenade I think, grenade on nice long slider, cheers Dean
